I wouldn't have minded if the previous owner had put the money towards having the engine rebored. In what must have been a case of hope over experience, they fitted new standard pistons to badly worn bores. The result was the engine would start and tick over beautifully but lacked enough power to move along at anything more than walking pace. In an attempt to hide the problem they had removed the clutch pedal!
